    Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells:
     "These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware.
    
      Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier:
    
       - Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks
         assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it
         easier to add more bits into the key.
    
       - Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate
         on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of
         multiplications).
    
       - Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively.
    
      Then the main patches:
    
       - Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point
         of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not
         accessible cross-user_namespace.
    
         keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this.
    
       - Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
         rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating
         directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_*
         flags will only pick from the current user_namespace).
    
       - Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key
         shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of
         multiple keys with the same description, but different target
         domains to be held in the same keyring.
    
         keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this.
    
       - Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a
         domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected.
    
       - Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be
         differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New
         keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned
         the network domain in force when they are created.
    
       - Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down
         into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to
         request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock.
    
         This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are
         thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the
         appropriate network namespace down into dns_query().
    
         For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other
         cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the
         domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of
         the superblock"
    
    * tag 'keys-namespace-20190627' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:
      keys: Pass the network namespace into request_key mechanism
      keys: Network namespace domain tag
      keys: Garbage collect keys for which the domain has been removed
      keys: Include target namespace in match criteria
      keys: Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
      keys: Namespace keyring names
      keys: Add a 'recurse' flag for keyring searches
      keys: Cache the hash value to avoid lots of recalculation
      keys: Simplify key description management
